Sadly, I don't think there will be much to salvage from that truck. The heat from the fire takes the temper out of the steel parts, and they will be too soft to reuse. You can see the warping in the the fenders and the cowl vent. Even a small grass fire is enough to ruin the springs and frame on a truck. The cast iron parts may be salvageable, but I doubt much more. I hope I'm wrong here.
What a terrible shame.
